All I can think of is that I want a remake of the original Mass Effect, to tweak the combat, and the repetitive side areas. Maybe use Andromeda style combat. Maybe fix the pacing a little. It would be a day 1 perch.

This is one of those weird things that bug me, but is the timeline where you have to put the pulley INTO the rubber chicken (instead of just finding non-sequitorial rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle) the same timeline where Sinbad starred in Shazam and Mandela died in prison?

Glad you guys are intrigued by Monster Hunter World! The GWJ MH community is enthusiastic, knowledgeable and welcoming, so anyone interested should definitely drop on in.

The weapons all feel really really different but they're all fairly simple. Like, you can have a really giant hammer and you may have an overhand strike, a wide-swing kind of a strike, and maybe one or two other special moves but that's basically it.

True, the hammer's repertoire focuses on simplicity but just in case some folks might dismiss the game out of hand, some of the weapons go pretty deep and can be very satisfying for those looking for that level of nuance and finesse. The Charge Blade in particular comes to mind.

Check out Capcom's online manual for MH Generations, the most recent Western release, for some nice moveset flow charts (which will be mostly applicable to MH:World, judging by the open beta).

For example, here's the Hammer:

You mentioned that in Portugal you have to pay packages to access certain sites.
My question is: where the hell did you get this from?! This is a blatant lie.
The Portuguese ISPs do block sites, but it's due to legal reasons (i.e., pirating).

You must be confusing it with some mobile data plans which offer unlimited data for certain things like WhatsApp, but you don't have to pay extra to access other stuff. That other stuff just counts towards your data limit.

Please be careful to research before saying lies, which can then spread like wildfire. The social media is bad enough as it is.

There’s a popular tweet going around that was even picked up by some news outlets. The tweet misrepresents the situation, but the news outlets don’t do a great job of clearly correcting it either (probably because dramatic news gets them more traffic).

His point about the importance of net neutrality stands without the misunderstanding regarding Portugal’s state of affairs with their internet, though.

I doubt it was a lie. A lie requires that the person intended to spread false information. Rabbit doesn’t strike me as the type of person to intentionally mislead people.

That makes perfect sense that it would bug you. I know that I'm not happy about false information that's spread about the USA. I think it's understandable to call out the error, and ask for a correction.

You're definition of the word lie is incorrect, though. For something to be a lie it means the person knows what they are saying isn't true and they say it anyway.

What Julian did was a mistake, or a misunderstanding, or an error. It wasn't a lie. Not unless he knew what he was saying was false and then said it anyway.

Bastion is one of my all time favorites. Seeing that it has seen multiple releases across many platforms over the past 5 years, I'd say the prediction holds up. I can't imagine Supergiant Games devoting resources to the game unless it's still making money.

Dice Hunter: Thanks for the recommendation, Allen! Not the kind of treadmill I should be hopping on this time of year, but I'll have to manage.

I read that article and it doesn't seem to explain it wrong, but it does try to push it to the anti-neutrality side.

First, you have a basic data plan which doesn't have any constraints (speed, access, etc), aside from the data limit. What the ISP is providing is unlimited data for certain apps, but you have to pay a little extra for that convenience. If you're someone who watches a lot of Netflix or listen to a lot of Spotify, this might be a good solution.

They key things is that this only applies to mobile data plans, which always have data constraints, but never limit access to certain apps/sites and don't throttle the speed.
For reference, the non-mobile plans have no data restrictions and the usual speed now is 100Mbps/100Mbps.
